Intel CI system updates
Migration work completed on June 1, 2020
@Lincoln to reach out and confirm with Intel the status and to participate in the meeting.
Travis CI
Seems to be working better with their recent changes, still 1 or 2 infra failures, but better overall.
Community CI Lab
Broadcom hardware online now
Will be configured to email patchworks today.
SPDK build failures
SPDK team is going to discuss which of their branches should be used for the DPDK integration testing, which may help with keeping in sync with the DPDK development / changes.
Point release submitted today that should fix the current failures being seen - 2 of the 5 systems are showing as pass now, and need to confirm the status of the other 3 systems.
Other build services
Comparison metrics for additional services are captured in May 19 minutes.
Cirrus CI
Expect update for Redhat June 16 or June 30 on interns, etc.
SUSE Open Build Service
Not built for the CI purpose, rather to build packages for systems (RPM or deb) and make those packages available for use.
To use the system for CI type work, there would be effort needed to create job definitions (combination of different variables / build types)
OS / Arch coverage - fairly significant number of both OS and architectures, compared existing CI coverage
Testing Type: Does support running unit tests, but root access is not permitted, and could cause an issue hugepages (this would need to be added by the OBS maintainers).
Output Reporting - Should be possible to match capabilities of existing Travis CI system
Support - Community support via IRC and email lists
The system could be made “easier” with the inclusion of package specs in the DPDK main repo. This should be discussed with the tech-board, Thomas will add this to the next agenda.
If there is an agreement to include the spec files by the tech board, Juraj will help to get the OBS integrated with the CI processes.
Development environment has been set up and developers are becoming familiar with the code. Working through the first test case (MTU test case), and should have a patch submitted by the end of the week.
Question on the adding additional abstraction within test cases. Let’s put together a proposal / example to share with the DTS mailer, to get early feedback.
Demonstrate / report to the board mid-July status, percent complete on the project (number of test cases, etc.)
New / Updated:
Bug 431 - Missing performance results in Patchwork checks, and possible false positives
CI scripts updated to force TRex stop (if the process is still there, before starting the next test).
Bug 460 - Broadcom performance testing being setup
Bare-metal hardware is now operational, just needs to be setup to submit results to patchworks
Next meeting: June 16, 2020
Lincoln has a conflict due to the BBF meetings, can I get a volunteer to chair the meeting.
Bradon Lo from UNH-IOL will help take minutes and chair, along with James.
